Before the new league year kicks off, the Dallas Cowboys have made another key move to help their head coach, Brian Schottenheimer. With new defensive coordinator Christian Parker already settling in, the Cowboys continue shaping their coaching staff around him. The latest report revealed that Dallas has brought in a specialist to help Schottenheimer in strengthening the team’s pass rush heading into next season.

“One more addition to the Cowboys’ staff: BT Jordan has been hired as a pass rush specialist consultant, per source. He spent the last two years with Denver and was with Seattle before that. Renowned for his work with DL over the years and has a past with Kenny Clark,” ESPN’s Todd Archer reported via X on February 24.

BT Jordan has built his coaching career steadily since 2012, starting as an Assistant Offensive Line Coach at Missouri S&T. He then moved to McKendree University in 2013 as a Graduate Assistant, working with tight ends and the offensive line, before taking on a similar role at Austin Peay later that year. He then had two productive seasons at Austin Peay, which earned him a promotion to full-time Defensive Line Coach

After leaving Austin Peay, BT Jordan spent three seasons at John Ehret High School in New Orleans as Defensive Line Coach. In 2021, he then joined the Arizona Cardinals through the NFL’s Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship, gaining valuable pro-level coaching experience. A year later, Jordan worked as a pass rush specialist at Michigan State.

In 2023, BT Jordan returned to the NFL to work as a pass rush specialist with the Seattle Seahawks. He then served as a pass rush consultant for the Denver Broncos over the past two seasons. During his tenure, the Broncos led the NFL in quarterback pressures, QB hits, and sacks.

In 2024, the Broncos recorded 430 QB pressures, 141 QB hits, and 63 sacks. The following season, the Broncos improved even further with 433 QB pressures, 173 QB hits, and 68 sacks. The team also broke their franchise sack record in back-to-back seasons with Jordan on staff.

“It’s always Me vs Me! Back to Back Leading the NFL in Sacks,” BT Jordan wrote via Instagram after the 2025 season to celebrate the Broncos’ success in pass rush. “Back to Back Breaking the Franchise Sack Record! The Internet Trainer is leading the NFL in sacks back to back. The Streets is Done!”

Meanwhile, the Cowboys struggled to generate a consistent pass rush in the last season, finishing with just 35 sacks. Now, BT Jordan’s track record suggests he could make an immediate difference for the Cowboys. His previous experience working with Cowboys defensive tackle Kenny Clark will also help Brian Schottenheimer in elevating the team’s pass rush. At the same time, the Cowboys have also filled the list of staff who will coach the revamped defensive unit under Christian Parker.

Cowboys have also finalized the defensive coaching staff for Christian Parker

The Cowboys hired Christian Parker after parting ways with former defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, with whom the team’s defensive unit ranked near the bottom last season. Now, Parker steps into his first year as a DC after recently working as a pass game coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. After conducting more than 40 interviews, the Cowboys have also officially hired eight assistants to complete Parker’s defensive staff.

Here is the list of the Cowboys’ new defensive staff and their roles under Christian Parker for the 2026 season:

• Ryan Smith – Secondary coach
• Robert Muschamp – Assistant secondary coach 
• Marcus Dixon – Defensive line coach
• Derrick Ansley – Defensive pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach
• Demeitre Brim – Assistant defensive line coach
• Scott Symons – Inside linebackers coach 
• Chidera Uzo-Diribe – Outside linebackers coach 
• J.J. Clark – Assistant linebackers coach

Smith joins Parker’s coaching staff after three seasons as the Cardinals’ cornerbacks coach. Before coaching in the NFL, Smith worked as the defensive backs coach at Northwestern and Virginia Tech and worked under Curt Cignetti at Elon and James Madison. Meanwhile, Muschamp joins the Cowboys after working as a defensive quality control coach for three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He also has four years of college coaching experience working at Georgia and Tennessee.

As for Dixon, a former Cowboys player, he recently worked as the defensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings over the past two seasons. Before that, he worked with the Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams. Ansley also joins Christian Parker’s staff with prior coaching experience in the NFL, having worked the past two seasons as the Packers’ pass game coordinator. He also worked with the Chargers as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach. He also gained valuable SEC experience by working for four years under former Alabama coach Nick Saban. 

Meanwhile, Uzo-Diribe will take on his first NFL coaching job in Dallas after a decade of coaching at the college level. He most recently worked at Georgia as outside linebackers coach. Uzo-Diribe also coached the defensive line at TCU during their national championship run in 2022. Like Uzo-Diribe, Brim also takes his first NFL job after seven seasons in college football, including stints at Lehigh, Nebraska, and UCF as a defensive quality control analyst and defensive line coach.

Symons also makes his NFL coaching debut by joining Christian Parker’s staff after serving as a DC and safeties coach at SMU for four seasons. Ultimately, J.J. Clark is the only retained assistant from the Cowboys’ staff from last year. After serving as a defensive assistant last year, he will now work with the linebackers under Parker. Altogether, the Cowboys have clearly committed to reshaping their defense from top to bottom with Parker before the upcoming season.
